Thank you for your comment on our All Agents review page, it's disappointing to hear that you haven't received the care and attention you would expected from our services, for which we apologise profusely. I am sure there are many reasons as to why, however, Bourne take all reviews constructively and professionally and will always endeavour to better ourselves based on experiences from customers and clients. We would appreciate the opportunity to rectify this and I would appreciate the time ...

Bourne had the lowest of the fees being charged by Estate Agents in the area although I did find them to be very high especially when they do a minimal of paper work and I had to chase to be sent the inventory and a copy of the signed agreement. The company that they use to carry out the inventory did not complete a very thorough documentation and I had to request several issues to be added.
